16.) "Mark's Big Break." Tim commissions Mark to make a video to celebrate the completion of his hot rod. When Tim is disappointed with the result, Mark films a new version - with a dance number set to "Greased Lightning."

17.) "Young at Heart." The plans for Tim and Jill's 19th wedding anniversary go awry when Tim is caught in a compromising position with his new female mechanic.

18.-19.) "Love's Labour Lost," Parts 1 & 2. Jill needs an emergency hysterectomy, but things turn much more serious than expected.

20.) "Neighbors." When Wilson wins a bunch of money and decides to build a greenhouse, Tim gets angry because it blocks his view.

21.) "A Hardware Habit to Break." Harry announces that he is retiring and selling the hardware store. Tim organizes a fundraising party for the store, but ends up buying it himself. Tim turns out to be a failure at retail.

22.) "Loose Lips and Freudian Slips." When Jill criticizes her psychology professor, it could come back to haunt her.

23.) "Trouble-a-Bruin." Bud mandates that no non-Binford products are to be used on the show. Brad has to decide whether or not to play soccer earlier than he is scheduled to when he has an opportunity to play in front of a UCLA scout.

24.) "Dead Weight." Al deals with the death of his mother.

25. - 26.) "The Long and Winding Road," Parts 1 & 2. The show's new producer decides it's Jerry Springer time rather than just plain old Tool Time, and Tim hangs it up. Meanwhile, Jill is offered a job — in another state — and Wilson and Tim decide to take down the fence to make room for Al's wedding.

27.) "Backstage Pass." A clip show features interviews, bloopers, and Wilson's facial unveiling.

Home Improvement: The Complete Eighth Season is presented in 1.33:1 aspect ratio. The audio is in Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo.

The DVD set includes Tim Allen Presents: A User's Guide to Home Improvement, which originally aired in May of 2003, where the comedian co-hosts the show with Richard Karn and brings Debbie Dunning along for the ride as well. Allen tries out some standup material and takes questions from the live audience. The set also includes a blooper reel.

Home Improvement fans will definitely want to add season eight to their DVD collections.
